Fransen's most recent tweets through the @JaydaBF account are still visible through a Google search, and show that she was tweeting up until Monday mid-morning. Her account had, up until its suspension, been verified by Twitter.

UK prime minister Theresa May condemned Trump's retweeting of a "hateful" far-right group in her most explicit criticism of Trump to date. Both Fransen and Golding changed their Twitter header images to pictures of Donald Trump. In Fransen's case, the image showed a photoshopped Trump holding up her hand.

Twitter would not clarify why it had suspended Fransen or Golding over other hateful accounts such as neo-Nazi Richard Spencer, or former EDL leader Tommy Robinson. It also wouldn't comment on whether Donald Trump, having retweeted hateful Britain First videos, may qualify him for suspension.

The firm's new polices against hate speech, which come into force today, state:

"Accounts that affiliate with organizations that use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes. Groups included in this policy will be those that identify as such or engage in activity — both on and off the platform — that promotes violence. This policy does not apply to military or government entities and we will consider exceptions for groups that are currently engaging in (or have engaged in) peaceful resolution."
